Went to a party the other night
Long Tall Sally was out of sight
She threw her wig, and her high sneakers too
She was doing a dance without any shoes
She was barefootin'
Barefootin'
Barefootin'

Canon T2i, Tamron 150-600 @ 200mm , bright sun, -2/3 stop exposure comp

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Fri, 02/05/16 19:23 I love those yellow "booties" of the snowy egret and how you caught the moment with the actual claws meeting their reflective counterparts. For all the white plumage you were able to retain at lot of the detailing to be found on the snowy egret. Comments by les perry on Sat, 02/06/16 08:24 Good detail caught in this Little Egret, might have wanted a little more space on the left though. Comments by Jacky on Sat, 02/06/16 18:11 Lovely! Very nicely exposed. Agree, a little tight, but that's something I struggle with too (sometimes you've gotta work with what you got). Comments by Gerry Herd on Sat, 02/06/16 18:34 Les and Jacky, you're right about being cropped in too tight, and what hurts is that it was mostly a self inflicted wound. The bird was to the left side of the frame, but there was still some room for him to walk into. Comments by Maria Salvador on Sun, 02/07/16 07:47 I like this one better and I like the hues of blue on the water. :-) It may be a personal taste thing, but did you try a square crop?
